Can I Get Reinfected with COVID–19?

In Wuhan China there have been a handful of cases reported including healthcare workers and a physician who tested positive, were sick and then had a negative test only to later be tested again and have a positive test. It has not been determined whether testing was faulty or this represents reinfection. Most infectious disease experts feel that reinfection is not possible.
